Ulta Beauty, Inc. (ULTA) delivered solid growth in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.

Quarterly net income increased 8.1% to $282.0 million, with diluted EPS of $6.55 versus $5.78 a year earlier. Gross margin was stable at 39.1%, while SG&A leveraged slightly to 26.4% of sales due to lower incentive compensation and overhead leverage, partly offset by higher advertising.
